  Many students taking human resource management (HRM) courses will become general, rather than personnel, managers and yet many textbooks are written with the needs of personnel specialists in mind. This book, however, focuses on general business performance rather than the specialism itself and should be of interest to students taking introductory HRM or personnel courses.
